It is an evergreen herbaceous perennial plant forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping rhizome, which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and usually range between 70â€“90 cm (27â€“36 in) long and 5â€“6 cm (2â€“2.5 in) wide.

It is commonly called the snake plant (not to be confused with the very similarly named "Snakeplant", Nassauvia serpens), because of the shape of its leaves, or mother-in-law s tongue because of their sharpness. In China, it is known as huweilan (Tiger s Tail Orchid). In Japan, it is called Tiger s Tail. In Africa, the plant is used as a protective charm against evil or bewitchment

Planting and care

Sansevieria can be divided easily during repotting. Alternatively, new shoots, which emerge from the soil as spikes, can be taken and potted independently. They are rapid growers once established. Cuttings can also be taken, but it s much easier to rely on division.

Pot the snake plant in a clay container that is wider than it is tall, since the root system is shallow. Choose a pot the same diameter or one size larger than the plantâ€™s current container. Plastic is not the best choice for these plants, because strong roots can easily crack and break weak pots.
